Diagnosis and Surgical Treatment of Uterine Isthmus Atresia: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Uterine isthmus atresia is a rare M üllerian duct anomaly occasionally diagnosed in adolescents with primary amenorrhea and cyclic abdominal pain. A case is presented of a 14-year-old female with monthly cyclical lower abdominal pain of two-year duration. Magnetic resonance imaging and three-dimensional ultrasound showed separation o f 10-mm fibrotic tissue between the cervical canal and the endometrial cavity. In an attempt to preserve reproductive ability, end-to-end anastomosis was laparoscopically performed between the cervical canal and uterine cavity.
